Press releases

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Discussion Paper on certain key performance indicators (KPIs) and other aspects of the Disclosures Delegated Act, under Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation. The aim is to consult the public on potential measures to simplify and enhance the usability of information disclosed by credit institutions and investment firms. The consultation is open until 12 August 2026.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published revised Guidelines on product oversight and governance (POG) for retail banking products. They clarify requirements for products with environmental, social and governance (ESG) features whenever offered and sold to consumers and address greenwashing risks. The Guidelines aim to ensure that financial institutions apply robust standards when designing and distributing ESG-related retail products, with a view to reducing the risk of consumers being misled or sold products that do not meet their needs.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published end-2025 data on two key concepts and indicators in the DGSD, namely financial means available to, and covered deposits protected by DGSs. This annual publication, covering each Member State, enhances transparency and accountability across the EU to the benefit of depositors, markets, policymakers, DGSs and Members States.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its 2025 Report on supervisory convergence, as part of its broader efforts to contribute to a more efficient, streamlined and effective EU prudential framework. This work responds to the EBA’s initiatives to increase the efficiency of the regulatory and supervisory framework, including through greater transparency and a focus on supervisory convergence. The Report highlights continued progress in aligning supervisory practices across the European Union (EU), while identifying areas where further convergence is needed. It shows how strong and consistent supervision can support the simplification of the regulatory framework, reduce unnecessary complexity, and help secure a level playing field across the Single Market.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a roadmap outlining how it will deliver its mandates under the revised Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (DGSD3). The roadmap sets out the EBA’s role in implementing DGSD3 by developing a set of regulatory products to strengthen depositor protection across the EU. It also presents the timeline for these deliverables, which will ensure depositors are better informed about their rights, better protected, and that deposit guarantee schemes are prepared to act when needed.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a Consultation Paper with a draft methodology for setting fines in its role as supervisor under MiCA. The objective is to ensure that fines imposed on issuers of significant crypto-assets are consistent, proportionate and transparent, and effectively support compliance with the regulatory framework.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published an updated list of validation rules defined in its reporting frameworks, as part of its regular quarterly review process. The revised package identifies rules that have (i) been deactivated due to inaccuracies or IT-related issues, (ii) been reactivated, or (iii) undergone a change in severity status.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final revised Guidelines on common procedures and methodologies for the supervisory review and evaluation process (SREP) and supervisory stress testing, marking another key milestone in its efforts to enhance the efficiency, coherence and effectiveness of EU banking supervision. The revised Guidelines are a core deliverable of the EBA’s efficiency and simplification agenda. They build on the EBA Report on the efficiency of the regulatory and supervisory framework (October 2025) and follow the Report on simplifying the stacking orders of the EU prudential and resolution framework. The revised SREP Guidelines pave the way for a more risk-focused, efficient, proportionate and forward-looking framework for supervisors across the EU.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its latest semi-annual dashboard on the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL), providing an update on the state of resolution planning and on the resources that banks are using to meet their requirements. As of December 2025, bail-in remains the preferred resolution strategy in terms of risk-weighed assets (RWAs), while rollover needs reach EUR 231 billion for instruments set to become ineligible over the next 12 months.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published today its final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) amending the Pillar 3 disclosure framework on environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, and introducing disclosure requirements on equity and shadow banking exposures. The package finalises the implementation of the disclosure requirements introduced by the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR 3). Developed in line with the EU’s simplification agenda and the Omnibus package, the ITS streamline existing requirements, and enhance usability and consistency. The ITS are aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and with the EBA draft ITS on ESG reporting requirements, which are currently under consultation. They should, therefore, be read in conjunction with this Consultation paper to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the overall ESG framework and to support informed feedback.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published its Spring 2026 Risk Assessment Report (RAR), Q1 2026 Risk Dashboard (RDB) and Spring 2026 Risk Assessment Questionnaire (RAQ) results today.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its 2025 Reports on the annual market and credit risk benchmarking exercises, highlighting continued progress in the consistency and reliability of banks’ internal models across the EU, while identifying areas for supervisory attention as key regulatory reforms approach full implementation.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its 2025 Annual Report, outlining its main achievements and activities in delivering on its mandates under its Work Programme. In 2025, the EBA focused on streamlining and improving the efficiency of the EU regulatory framework while expanding its supervisory role, particularly under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

The European Banking Authority (EBA) continues to execute on its simplification and efficiency programme. After proposals in April to reduce the reporting burden for banks and for a simpler stress-test in 2027, it publishes today a comprehensive review of the EU bank microprudential, macroprudential and resolution capital framework, including proposals to simplify it. The proposals aim to reduce complexity while preserving banks’ resilience and resolvability as well as authorities’ tools, and to ensure the framework remains focused on emerging and materially evolving risks.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today the draft methodology, templates, and template guidance for the 2027 EU-wide stress test. The 2027 exercise introduces significant simplifications to improve efficiency and risk sensitivity, while preserving the robustness and comparability of results. Key changes include a substantial reduction in data requirements, the alignment of information with harmonised supervisory reporting, and the integration of climate risks into the EU-wide stress test. A total of 63 banks from the EU and Norway, including 47 from the euro area, will participate, covering 75% of the EU banking sector. The industry consultation is being launched at an earlier stage than for previous EBA stress tests, to facilitate banks’ preparedness.
